Zabala 10 gauge SxS value

[Leroy Luck]

There’s a Zabala 10 gauge SxS up for sale at a local auction. I’m wondering what the estimated price range would be so I don’t over pay for it. Looking online I’m seeing they have sold for $625-1000+. There’s a few listed on gunbroker currently with a starting bid of $999. 
 

Looking back through old threads I found there are a few SASS members that have or had a Zabala SxS. I do understand it’s hard to put a price on something you can’t see or know its condition. But a range is what I’m after.

I've got one that has been shortened to 18".  It's still the heaviest gun I own.   It's fun to shoot but very stiff and very heavy.  You will win style points but that's about all you'll win with it.  I bought mine off another cowboy about 10 years ago for $400, if that helps any.

I bought one a while back from a SASS member here.  Barrels are about 20" plus.  I paid $400 and I  thought it was a great deal.  Its fun to shoot !

I bought a 10g Richland 711/Zabala in 2011 for $340 + shipping, and sold it to Mack Hacker a couple years later for $400 + shipping. The fore end on these literally looks like it was made from a 2x4 - huge.  

 

Looking at completed auctions on GB, selling prices are between $600 and $700. Some of the asking prices are considerably higher, but they're not selling.

I think the later chrome-lined bore ones might go for a bit more than $400; that $600-$700 sounds more realistic.

We have sold 4 in the last year, between $800 and $1200 depending on condition.   

 I am a fan of them I  have 2 18" . 

 

 To make an auction you need two people who really want something.  Fair price is what your willing to pay.
